Bucks in Range and Arrows Launched Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

Following up last week's podcast when we dove deep into habitat and whitetail deer movements during the rut. This week, we review a bow hunt that eventually leads to a mature buck stepping into range for Adam and Chad.

As we noticed consistent daylight movement on a specific ridge on the Keith farm, we moved in mid-day to hang a new treestand to take advantage of the upcoming winds. This stand was positioned just off the edge of thick cover overlooking a few fresh scrapes. On the first sit, the buck they went in after, appeared with 5 does. The setup and plan were becoming a reality. You will have to find out what happened next by listening to the podcast!

This story is a culmination of years of habitat work, a three history with a specific buck, a lifetime of learning a property, and the predictability of November rut behavior! We hope you enjoy the podcast. #ForLoveoftheLand

Your Trail Cameras Have Been Lying Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

This is a bold statement, but it’s true, especially during this time of the year. The pre-rut is a great time to get some fascinating deer behavior captured on trail cameras. But with all the intel you can gain, does it paint a full picture?

On this weeks podcast, we break down some crazy buck management that we captured this past week. In just 24 hours we captured over 1.5 miles of straight line movements! This deer was traveling long and far, but is this the normal? Trail cameras tell you what already happened, not what is going to happen.

Learn how we interpret trail camera information during this time of the year. #ForLoveoftheLand

We break down why whitetails do what they do during November and how habitat is very strongly correlated to their movements. Secure bedding cover is like an magnet for deer during this time. Creating it can be easy, but location is key. You have to be able to access these areas to hunt them effectively. Don’t worry we walk you through this during the podcast.

The Secrets from a Game Rich Consulting Trip Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Recently, Kyle, Frank, and Matt headed south to central Florida to work on a new farm. The property owners were looking to improve the overall function of the property, habitat, and wildlife. We went in with high hopes and we weren't disappointed with what we saw.

This property had less than drastic terrain features, yet the habitat types were extremely numerous and ever-changing. In total, the property's highest point was 46 feet and the lowest was 32 feet in elevation. The amazing part about this farm was the amount of cover it produced for species like quail, turkey, and whitetail deer. The cover was everywhere, almost too much! So we prescribed thinning certain areas and adjusting the composition of the cover. Overall the property in Florida was game rich and we break down all the reasons why!

We hope you enjoy the lessons in land management that this property has to share. Even central Florida can be turned into a sportsmen's paradise with sound land and wildlife management techniques. #ForLoveoftheLand

Step by Step Pre-Rut Hunting Guide Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Guess what, it's about that time! The buck activity is ramping up all across the mid-west as we record this podcast. What a great time to be a bowhunter. Although the activity is escalating, that doesn't mean you should go in "guns blazing", you still need a plan and guide to put yourself in a likely setup to cross paths with a mature buck.

On this week's podcast, we break down how to read the sign and behavior you may be seeing on your trail cameras or field observations. Are you seeing bucks working scrapes in the daylight or are you seeing solo fawns wandering around aimlessly? These are signs of the stages of the rut and activity in the whitetail breeding season. In addition, we discuss what the next steps are for treestand selection. Travel corridors or pinch points are fantastic during this time of the year. The progression of young bucks to older bucks of chasing is in full swing.

If you want to make the most out of your hunting season for the next two week, give this podcast a listen! We share the activity level of bucks on our cameras, hopefully, soon we will be a full draw! #ForLoveoftheLand

The Story of Missouri Buck Harvested Over Acorns with Seth Harker Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

On this week's podcast we have returning guest Seth Harker to discuss his recent harvest of a mature buck over acorns. This is usually a very tall feat for most as trail cameras played a small role and woodsmanship skills are left to pick up the rest of the pieces. This story is exactly that!

Seth watched this buck throughout the summer months almost daily. He knew the area well that this buck was frequenting. Once season opened, he was high on the target list. With only 1 trail camera image in two weeks, Seth managed to stay on this buck's trail by observing natural food sources. Black oak acorns were falling and the deer and turkey revealed their desired food source at the time. A middle of the season scouting trip found the best location to intercept this buck! Listen as Seth tells the story of the hunt and be sure to watch it all unfold on the Land & Legacy Youtube Channel.

We hope you enjoy and learn somehting about mid-season scouting techniques. Trail camera images didn't reveal this pattern, scouting and knowing desired food sources sealed the deal! Enjoy and share! #ForLoveoftheLand

How Does Rainfall Impact A Management Plan in Texas? Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

On this week's podcast, we compare and contrast two different regions of the great state of Texas. Kyle Hedges joins Matt Dye on this podcast as the recommendations begin to flow.

As we know and share during this podcast, the region you own or hunt property in makes a considerable difference. We highlight two different properties this week, one that receives only 21 inches of rainfall a year and another that gets over 50, both in the state of TX, both that want to manage deer and wild turkey. 30 Inches of rain doesn't seem like a lot, but over the course of a year and the timing of these rains has serious implications on vegetation growth, prescribed usage, stress periods for wildlife and much more.

We hope you enjoy this week's podcast and learn more about the natural world and the factors that make it work and flow. #ForLoveoftheLand

230" Whitetail Mega Giant Buck, Again! Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

Not one, not two, but three bucks over 200" in four years is quite the accomplishment. Throw in a 193" buck last year and you're looking at one of the best four years of deer hunting anyone can have on free range whitetails! Greg Glesinger of Drury Outdoors is a longtime friend and Land & Legacy Client and his story is something we can all learn from.

"You have to put deer hunting aside when trying to manage your land." Gregs says when he made a major shift in the production of his farm. In 2017 we visited Greg's farms and immediately saw major potential. By focusing on ROI (Return on Investment) or practices that actually make a return on the property for wildlife value both in the short term and long term. Timber Stand Improvement, Old Field Management, Edge Feathering, Savanna Restoration, and many more, have led to one of the healthiest deer herds we have worked with.

We don't just discuss the habitat work, we also discuss hunting strategy and using ROI on selecting days to hunt. This is a podcast devoted to doing what's right for the land and how to capitalize on the benefits. Greg is a wealth of knowledge and we know you'll enjoy this one! #ForLoveoftheLand
